Hidden Binding Mini Album House – Halloween Style!

Leave a comment

Hi friends!

Traci here and today, I’m sharing a fun Halloween Mini Album that’s in the shape of a not-so-scary little haunted house. I made it with a wonderful Lori Whitlock cutting file called Hidden Binding Mini Album House (SVG, Silhouette) and I just love it!

To start, I cut the base out of Bazzill card stock in raven black, then added some cute pattern paper and mini icon stickers from the Doodlebug Happy Haunting Collection. Lori’s file comes with 2 pretty flowers and a front door but, I added some stickers instead to keep with the Halloween theme.

The album uses a hidden binding technique to secure the pages. That allows
enough room in between for pop dots, stickers, die cuts, tags, twine, etc. And, it lays
perfectly flat when closed! You can watch the assembly tutorial for it over on Lori’s YouTube Channel here.

Inside, I wanted 4 pages that were super sturdy so I cut 8 pieces out of black card stock and adhered two back to back to make each of my 4 pages. But, you could create this album with just 4 single pages.

I covered each page in cute pattern papers, photo mats, then decorated with stickers. It’s “frightful & delightful”!

While I designed this as a haunted house, the file could be used for ANY theme just by changing the paper collection. You could decorate it for pictures of family/home, a dog house, fall, a summer beach house, a cabin in the woods, or a winter wonderland in the mountains. It’s so versatile!

On some of the pages, I added scalloped circular photo mats. To make these, I used a 3″ scallop circle punch and a 2.5″ circle punch.

This cute mini album would be great filled with Halloween photos of family, friends, the pumpkin patch, pumpkin carving, a party, a haunted house, a festival, a corn maze, awesome costumes, trick-or-treating, and loads of sweet treats!

This would also make an amazing gift idea for the holiday. Give it to a friend, teacher, babysitter, dog walker, or the hostess of a Halloween party.

Lori has other hidden binding mini album shapes too. I’ve made the flower, telephone, and the tag shape and I’ve loved them all. But she has even more, so be sure to check those out.

I hope you like my Halloween version of this house shaped mini album and it
inspires you to create one yourself. Until next time … happy scrappin’!

Hi everyone!

You probably saw these great 3D pumpkins in the shop. Today I’m sharing a tutorial to put them all together.

3d Pumpkin Haunted House (SVG, Silhouette)

1. Cut out all the pieces.

 2. Apply adhesive to the panel, and adhere the vellum pieces to each panel.

3.  Attach the pumpkin and haunted house pieces together by lining up the notches.  You will first use this piece with notches on top and bottom.

4. Now install the top and bottom black circles.  Be sure to securely line them up with the notches in the pumpkin pieces.

5. Now install all the panels. Be sure to tuck in a tea light or fairly lights.

And now you have a great decor piece.  The house looks good from both sides, so it is a perfect table piece.

Take advantage of the sale, and add these 3D pumpkins to your stash.

Have a great day!

80th Birthday Card

Leave a comment

Last weekend we got to celebrate the 80th birthday of my fiance’s uncle, Dennis. Perfect oppertunity to make this fun card.

I used the pop up birthday card (SVG, Silhouette). I changed the Happy to a writing image rather than a cut. You know me and those little tiny letters. I used papers from the Echo Park Dino-Mite Collection. 

 

Such a fun bright card. The SVG from Lori’s shop comes with birthdays 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 so it’s a versatile SVG that you can use over and over.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!
